It's Raining, It's Pouring...

[Aran M Cockburn]

Like I said, it's persistently raining...lol

Beginning to feel the difference that losing 22lbs makes. My pants keep sliding down, I had to tighten my bra's up...lol

I've moved from Xtra large to a Large...

Not as much raw foods right now, there's always more month than money at the end isn't there? But... definitely Vegan, 100% Vegan.

I started with the wheat-grass juice again today, my organics lady brought me two boxes for the freezer, (20 in a box), before she closed her business down. I am SO gonna miss her coming here every Friday.

 

I'm on plan with cleaning this place up... You see the reason I'm a little miffed with Rob is that for the past 8 years we've discussed things and he's agreed to do his share, after all he doesn't work and it would keep him busy too, plus the burden of doing everything wouldn't be on me. This was also agreed yet again when it was decided I would start my own little business to get us some extra cash.

He didn't do anything.. if I wanted anything doing, I had to nag at him and I won't do that.

So I'm doing things my way, no more discussions, no arguments, nothing. The dishes and pots and pans get washed immediately after a meal, by me. I'm working my way through the house and spring cleaning basically... Once it's done it will be easier to keep clean. And it's exercise for me as well all this walking back and forth putting things away.

Rob keeps glancing at me, wondering what's going on.. I'm just going on my own merry way humming as I work..lol The boy's on his own...

 

I've also been going through my wardrobe and dresser drawers tossing stuff out that I no longer intend wearing (fat clothes), finding some that I have for a smaller me, some that I can shorten and take in... But I will need to pay a visit to Dorothy, she runs the 7 Day Adventists charity clothes shop here and I can get outfitted for free.

 

I'm still having my girly baths every single night, sod the electric bills, I'm more important...lol Anyway father in law pays them.....and he needs to keep me happy or I won't cook him nice meals when he comes home..

So, bubble baths, Epsom salts baths, exfoliations, Tonya Zavastas facial massage with loads of her moisturizer or coconut oil....

You see, I don't want to just lose weight I want to rediscover the Divine Feminine in me.... Over the past 8 years I became a mother again and I don't want that.. I did my time I should be paroled now...

 

I forgot!!! I can cut my own toenails now, ALL of them...lol My belly doesn't quite get in the way now, it's reduced by half in the front... AND I can shave my legs...lol

Oh the things that please us.....lol

Let's have a vote, Shave or wax? Which do you prefer? Shave or Wax?

@Deborah J Stevens.. hubby depressed? Yep!

He was a Ritalin child at the age of 3 yrs. My husband was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of three and prescribed Ritalin... He's now paying the price.. He was an alcoholic before he was 16 and a dope addict at the same time. He had the strength when he was 19 to look in the mirror and face reality, he was killing himself. He went cold turkey but has suffered depression ever since although he wasn't diagnosed until about 9 years ago. And they STILL give Ritalin to kids...... They know it changes the brain chemistry permanently and they still do it.  Eating healthily even if not 100% raw will definitely help your depression.. but I know we who suffer depression (I do too) hate to hear this, there are times when you will have to pull up your socks and just kick yourself into gear... I think there's a blog post in there somewhere..

Cheers to finding the Divine Feminine!  I love that!  You are doing great.

I really enjoyed reading this post.  I recently said to my mom that I was excited that I could cross my legs.  She didn't understand, but my sister did and said she was jealous!  I've got to get her into at least one green smoothie a day.    I've had to give my XL tee shirts the boot too!  I can actually fit into my husband's now (I'm not sure he likes me raiding his draw though!).

 

I've never waxed and I actually enjoy shaving my legs.  So, I say shave.

 

I love how you're taking care of yourself.  I'm thinking it's time I did something like that.  

 

I have to admit this...even though it's hard...I'm more like your husband than you.  I'm hoping that eating raw will end my depression and give me the energy and desire to do what needs doing.

 

Is your husband depressed?  Getting help?

[Debbie V]

Oh, Aran, this is such a delight to read. Just keep doing your thing, friend!

[Mae Jardine]

Aran, this blog is so full of joy!  You made my evening with a few giggles too.

Done them both and vote for shave.

[Deborah Grissam]

You are doing so wonderful.  I am really happy for you and excited that things are working well.  I know what you mean about cleaning up.  I did exactly the same thing- just do it and stopped asking for help and it was wonderful.   I felt so much better just getting it done without being in a bad mood!

[Stefanie]

LOL. What a wonderful post. I just love girly stuff. Oh and for the record...shave.

[Bette Bliss Shaw]

Yay for you!!!! Happy daze!

Hmmm shave for sure!

And epsom, and skin brush, and bubbles n rubber duckies, and whirlpool, and coconut oil and facials!!! wooohooo....girly stuff is sooooooooooooo awesome!!!

[Dee]

Yes indeed...you have been paroled ;-)

Shave, not much into pain on the waxing front.
